Scott in Bellingham Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Its been a year and 1/2 since I started thinking about turning a Subaru into a fun offroad rig, thought I would start a thread to feature the cars Ive built for myself , so here we go the first one started out as a red 87 EA82 wagon, got it from a friend free for the taking if I pulled the engine out for him which I did, the car had been in a wreck and so I took the sawzall to it and cut the nose off and had the engine out in no time , so I brought the car home , it had no engine and no front nose, this is the car I used to make patterns off of to make the lift parts for the EA82 6" lift, I then found another car a 85 silver wagon paid $100 for it the guy said it had a brocken timing belt, got it home replaced the belts and it ran, I sawzalled the front of the car off and welded it onto the red car along with installing the engine,here it is on its first trip out. I then painted the door area installed some Swampers and made a roof rack after a while the engine gave out and I sold the car to my brother Rollie (Rollie715) My Second car is also a 87 EA82 Wagon this time its a white one and has no electric windows, got this car from another friend in trade for a D/R tranny and driveline, this car would not start, after tinkering with it and replacing the Computer we got it to run, this car has a 3-1/2 high clearence lift and I kept my 27"Swapers and found some Pug Alloys, this is my present daily driver ,here it is walker Valley my next car is also a 87 EA82, Blue this time around , we stripped it of all unnessesarry weight , did a quick 2" suspention lift welded th diff and dawned the swampers, heres the Blue Bomber, its the first car Ive put a name on this is a real fun car, very nimble , I like the weight difference , Ive gone places with this one the others couldnt go . heres a video http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g188/djkindt/?action=view¤t=Subiesver1_0001wmv.flv will be adding more later , got another car in the works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djkindt Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 i've been looking for that band for a very long time, lol. That's not one of their best songs (it's stilll good though) but it just so happened to fit the video pretty well. I have all their albums, and they are all great.
